at the sta-mart on my "lunch-break." get a coffee. needs sugar. i pick up the sugar container (clear glass) and start pouring, but spot this black thing in it. hold it up and look again. it's gone. shake it some. see it again now. it's moving. it's buzzing. it's a fly. so, i'm holding it up looking at this fly in the sugar kind of surprised. peek around to see if anyone else is catching this. nope. i rest the sugar container on the countertop and unscrew the lid. the fly escapes in a miniscule puff of sugar - like a tiny negro genie being let out of its bottle.
